Monaco 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Monaco 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a bit of a stalemate, wasn't it? Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur played out a goalless draw at the Stade Louis II, a result that might not surprise many given their recent form. Monaco, coming off a 2-2 draw against Manchester City, couldn't find the back of the net despite having more possession. Tottenham, on the other hand, managed to keep a clean sheet away from home after their 2-2 draw with Bodø / Glimt. Neither side managed to break the deadlock, but both will take positives from a solid defensive showing.

It's clear both teams were cautious, perhaps too cautious, as neither wanted to risk losing. Monaco had a few chances but couldn't convert, while Tottenham's defence, led by Guglielmo Vicario, stood firm. This result doesn't end or extend any particular run for either team, but it does show that both are capable of grinding out results when needed. A point each might not be the most exciting outcome, but it's a point gained in the grand scheme of things.

Looking at the stats, it's interesting to see how the game unfolded. Monaco had 56% possession compared to Tottenham's 44%, yet they couldn't capitalise on their dominance. They also had one more corner than Tottenham, with 5 to 4, but again, it didn't translate into goals. What's surprising is the difference in successful dribbles, with Monaco at 62% and Tottenham at just 42%. Despite these figures, the game ended goalless, showing that sometimes stats don't tell the whole story.

The only card of the match went to Tottenham, with one yellow, while Monaco managed to keep their discipline intact. Both teams made substitutions, with Monaco making 4 and Tottenham 5, but none of these changes could unlock the defence. Overall, the stats suggest Monaco had the upper hand in terms of control, but Tottenham's resilience ensured they left with a point.

The key moments in this match were few and far between, but they were crucial. Monaco had a few chances, but the standout moment was when Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario made a series of impressive saves to keep the scoreline at 0-0. His performance was pivotal in ensuring Tottenham left with a point, as he thwarted Monaco's attempts to break the deadlock.

On the other side, Tottenham's defence was solid throughout, with no major errors or lapses that could have cost them. The game was a tactical battle, with both teams cancelling each other out. The lack of key moments from either side underscores the cautious approach both managers took, resulting in a game that was more about not losing than winning.

Monaco lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Philipp Köhn in goal and a back three of Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, and Caio Henrique. The midfield was anchored by J. Teze and Mamadou Coulibaly, with Krépin Diatta and Kassoum Ouattara providing width. Up front, Maghnes Akliouche and Ansu Fati supported Folarin Balogun.

There were no major surprises in the lineup, but the impact of the substitutions was minimal. Monaco made four changes during the game, but none of them could break down Tottenham's defence. Overall, the team showed good control of the game but lacked the cutting edge needed to secure a win.

Tottenham opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks and a back four of Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Archie Gray. The midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and João Palhinha provided stability, while Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, and Wilson Odobert supported Richarlison up top.

The lineup was as expected, with no major surprises. The five substitutions made by Tottenham didn't significantly alter the game's flow, but the team's defensive solidity was evident throughout. Vicario's performance in goal was particularly noteworthy, as he kept a clean sheet with a series of crucial saves.

Guglielmo Vicario is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. With 8 saves and 2 clearances, he was instrumental in keeping Monaco at bay and ensuring Tottenham left with a point. His performance was the difference between a draw and a loss for Tottenham, and his contribution cannot be overstated.
